Just to throw this in, 3w distributing is having a sale until the end of April. I was quoted $1399 shipped for the ruger mesh in hyper silver with the lugs and caps.

I'm thinking about getting a set of Ruger Mesh as well. Maybe if we both decide to buy from 3W distributing we can get a combo deal for less than $1399 shipped.

I was impressed with the ruger mesh. My local ferrari dealership mounting my tires confused them with HRE's! hahahahahahaha! I still love the HRE P40's in texture charcoal but these one would do it for now...

I admired HRE's for the longest time and REALLY love the P40's (a lot) who knows, these may help with the transition eventually to the real deal!

I have a 2011 4S with 5mm OEM spacers and CS II wheels black, lover Ruger mesh look in black. Will I need to remove my spacers in order to put them on or can I still have spacers.

You don't have to remove the spacers but the fitment may end being aggressive...

They are however coming out with a Porsche specific wheel by this summer, I won't spoil the surprise but this should really please all Porsche owners !

The 19s are under 20 lbs and coupled with the high offset applications of Porsches, they will remain very light!

Can you please quote me for a set for a 2007 C4S widebody shipped to zip 92694? I als want the gun mental finish like Joel did.

After not seeing my car for a month, went on a much needed break, and seeing joels beautiful car with those beautiful wheels, i realized that having aggressive rear offset wheels emphasizes that gap between rear fender and the tires making the car look higher. This makes us feel that we need to lower the rear a bit. I think the aggressive offset and spacers affect our cars stance more than we understand and more than has just aesthetic effect.
